Measuring staff experience in schools and multi-academy trusts

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Among School Staff

Making school staff feel valued and appreciated is essential to building a strong and positive school community. Therefore, understanding the concerns and feelings of staff is paramount.

In early 2021, Edurio ran its first Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Review for school and trust staff across England, collecting extensive data on EDI issues within schools. The survey saw over 16,500 participants across 380 schools and gathered information on staff feelings around workplace diversity, equal treatment, and leadership dynamics.

The gathered data uncovered how different staff groups have different experiences, revealing that certain groups feel less valued and show less confidence in leadership than others. Our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Among School Staff report dives deep into this data and paints a clear picture of the EDI issues schools face today.

What you will find inside the report

  • How do groups of staff with different characteristics experience their time in school?
  • How do perceptions differ at different types of schools, and different roles within the school?
  • How committed do staff of all backgrounds and identities feel their schools are to EDI?
